Sunscreen is an extremely important skincare step.
A sunscreen forms a protective layer on your skin and shields it from the ultraviolet radiation of the sun. What skincare experts don’t tell is that it is not only about the sun's direct rays but excessive heat on skin causes wrinkles, dryness, inflammation, and skin discoloration over time. So even on those cloudy days, a skin-barrier protecting sunscreen is a must.
The drawbacks however are mainly two of the majority sunscreens in the market:
- Leaves a White Cast: Most of the sunscreens use titanium dioxide/zinc oxide ingredients as UV filters. These ingredients leave a white layer on skin that definitely can make any face look pasty and flat.
- Another layer in skincare routine: Even if a minimal routine is followed, a proper cleansing, toning, moisturising is a must. Add to it another layer of sunscreen then and as per your schedule, makeup might be required too. This for some people causes too much loading and clogging of skin with too many synthetic ingredients and extra work.
Then what is the correct way to use Sunscreen/SPF?
Have you heard of a ‘Natural Sunscreen/SPF’ before?
Let us talk you through pure, effective and potent sources of SPF existing in nature that are nourishing, moisturising as well as protective when we are exposed to the sun. Clinically it has been stated that such natural herbs, plant extracts and ingredients have SPF ranging from 4 to 28 and hence these can be used to achieve the desired SPF in skin care formulations.
Ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Shea butter, Cardamom and many more are naturally rich in SPF and can be used to replace or boost synthetic SPF for pure as well as potent skincare formulations.
Organity’s Tejas to the rescue!!
Our Pearl & Elaidi SPF cream-Tejas comes with natural SPF 30 extracted from Elaidi Tailum & hand pounded pearl extract. It also contains natural ceramides & collagen producing herbs that help to replenish the skin’s natural lipid levels to trap moisture in the skin. By doing so, they protect the skin’s barrier against damage caused by harmful external elements.
This Ayurvedic preparation thoughtfully combines nature’s given niacinamides and retinols that seeps into the skin barriers and acts as a nourishing shield against harmful effects of sun, and environment that causes acne and inflammations. Upon application, the skin becomes soft and supple, leaving it radiant with a pearlescent sheen.
